This one bedroom one bathroom condominium on the first floor of a 6 unit building was delightful for the two of us. The furnishings are attractive and fresh, not tired and worn out. The on-site maintenance man and property manager promptly took care of some problems we encountered during the first few days. The owner was also very responsive to questions and addressed all of our emails in a timely manner. He addressed our concern about lack of English language television by quickly supplying us with a special device to stream TV and movies. The condo has everything you need for a long-term stay and is located close to the grocery store, great restaurants and city bus lines. There is no dishwasher nor air conditioning, but neither of these items posed any concern for us. The cross ventilation was sufficient to keep the condo cool thanks to the awesome quiet ceiling fans that did not rattle while we were trying to sleep and the low humidity and cooler night time temps in February! There is also a very nice pool for dips to cool off right outside your door, and a beautiful pool deck for relaxing and watching the spectacular sunsets. The internet service was very good. The rental also included weekly maid service done by a very good and honest woman.

One thing renters should be aware of is that the location of this building is on a steep hillside and requires good knees and hips to climb the steps and steep, uneven terrain when returning. However, taxis are very affordable (50 pesos within town) and we used them when the climb would have been prohibitive, such as with a load of groceries.

good location. Had everything we need in terms of amenities . No AC , Noisy due to construction. Steep hill, no parking , no view. Nice layout of condo walkable on a very steep hill to all locations .

Management Response

Thank you for posting a review, however, I am disappointed that you did not advise us of the problem with construction noise. We did not know that there was going to be construction until just before you arrived. I have been advised by others in our condo building that the works started at 9-9:30 am and finished by 4:30 pm, during which time you were usually out.

As per our listing, our condo overlooks the bay which is surrounded by hills that form part of the Sierra Madre mountains. Unfortunately, most old town properties that have a bay view require a walk up a hill. Once in our condo you have views of the bay from the pool deck, palapa and roof top patio.

We agree with most comments listed. The location is perfect if you want to enjoy the real PV. We enjoyed the sights and sounds of being centrally located, walking distance to the Malecon and many great restaurants. The view is spectacular and Francisco was around the condo each day to assist us. We always rent a condo and my husband, the chef, could not get over how well appointed the kitchen was. It is up a steep hill, so bring good walking shoes, and some air conditioning might have been nice for sleeping, but hey, it's Mexico in late June, so no surprises. Overall, a great place to stay and we will b back.

Loved this condo, it is well located, quiet, nice, clean, bright and fully equipped. It is complete Mexican feel of Puerto Vallarta with excellent views and close options to visit.

We were 5p family (My husband and I, My 15 yold son and My 8 yold girls (twins).

Rob, attentions and explanations were precise, great and quick. Thank you Rob. Also Francisco in the condo was kind and available.

At home is very quiet, you can have nice meals beside the pool, you can watch the sunset from the roof or take a fresh dip in the pool before and after coming to/from the beach.

To get to know puerto vallarta, location is just excellent, very central!!!. The apartment is few minutes away from dining experiences, the malecon, and main city sightseeing places. Just a watch out (was not a problem for us) condo is located at the top of a hill so you will need comfortable walking shows and some condition but if need taxis are affordable/available.

To be honest this condo only had one opportunity to improve at least "for us" and was that it did not have air conditioning (ceiling fans were not enough for us). To be fair wheather was very hot and humid during summer, so for it was difficult to get a good night sleep!!I This is the only reason for not giving a 5 star in general opinion.

I fully recommend Rob's place!

Rob's condo is a fantastic place to stay on your trip to PV. The condo has everything you need to have a luxurious trip to the city. If you want to have a quiet day at home, you can watch the sunset from the amazing roof or take a dip in the condo pool. If you decide to go out, the apartment is minutes away from the best dining experiences in this part of Mexico. I can't recommend Rob's place enough!

The sights, sounds and vibe of staying in a real Puerto Vallarta neighbourhood is truly wonderful. Centrally located, but at the top of a hill, so bring your walking shoes and benefit from the exercise (especially after indulging in one of the many fabulous restaurants along the Malecon).

A refreshing break from the homogenous offerings of the all-inclusive.
